LDH1A1, one of 19 NAD(P)+-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenases, participates in multiple metabolic pathways and has been indicated to play an important role in obesity and diabetes. In this study, a series of 1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4-diones were designed, synthesized and evaluated as novel selective aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 inhibitors. Among them, compounds 46, 50, 53, 56 and 57 exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against ALDH1A1 with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range and high selectivity over ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3, ALDH2 and ALDH3A1. Furthermore, in vitro study demonstrated that compound 57 effectively improved glucose consumption in HepG2 cells compared to compound 1 (CM026).

Background: Pyrimidine-based drugs stimulate tissue regeneration and immunity, two components that need to be improved in a number of respiratory diseases of different etiology (e.g. influenza and asthma). In the present study we investigated relationships between the character of substitutions in the uracil structure and the impact of the respective uracil derivatives on the immortalized lung cells. Methods: The level of cell proliferation, maximum tolerated dose and toxic effect of 5-substituted uracil derivatives (12 compounds) were studied on the immortalized lung epithelial cells and compared with the ones of 6-methyluracil. Results: 5-Carboxyuracil and 1,3-dimethyl-5-carboxyuracil had the lowest cytotoxicity among the studied compounds. Their maximal tolerated dosage values were 5 times higher whereas the proliferation index was increased by 25% and 75%, respectively, compared to 6-methyluracil, known for its positive effects on cell regeneration. Conclusion: 5-Carboxyuracil and 1,3-dimethyl-5-carboxyuracil have the best perspectives for further studies on their biological effects.

Nfr-A1, a Bacillus subtilis nitroreductase, catalyzes the nitroreduction of a large panel of aromatic and heterocyclic nitro compounds, except those belonging to nitrouracil class of molecules. Besides nitroreduction, Nfr-A1 exhibits a strong NADH oxidase activity in the presence of oxygen, leading to high concentration of H2O2 (up to 200 μM). In the presence of (N,N)-dimethyl-5-nitrouracil 1 (dim-NU), Nfr-A1 achieves the reduction of dim-NU double bond to compounds 2 and 3 and in parallel the oxidation of dim-NU to the denitrated five membered derivatives 4 and 5. The reduction is catalyzed by the reduced flavin Fl-Red and resembles those catalyzed by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenases (DPD), during the catabolism of pyrimidines. The oxidative denitration is catalyzed in part by hydrogen peroxide generated through the NADH-oxidase activity, and certainly by the peroxyflavin intermediate Fl-OOH for the other part. The mechanisms of reaction were proposed according to experimental data and literature. These findings together with our previous results on the potential biological role of Nfr-A1, confirm the large spectrum of catalysis supported by this enzyme. The oxidative denitration is sporadically reported in literature and represents a safe and green alternative for the remediation of nitro-compounds.
